No worries mate, it'll kick in! And then you'd best hope 'driving' was an auto-correct error for 'drinking' or I fear for the state of your car... :mrgreen: Joking aside it does take a while and I never found it as bad as some people clearly did. Take care and good luck for tomorrow, best wishes for...
Hi Garfield, hope you get some anwers soon. As many can attest to the initial waiting is often the worst part as you can't effectively make a plan to deal with the unknown! I genuinely hope you find out that you don't have CRC but if you do and need support this forum is great, very informative, and...
Hi AnnClare, I also had my port put in on the left so the seatbelt wouldn't cross it when I drive (I'm in the UK). I had the exact same pain you describe on the opposite side of the port; wierd huh?

No idea if it helped, but I figure at worst it was a fairly inexpensive 'lucky charm' which helped m...

Hi Joanna, I was offered and accepted a scan during this time interval. My histology was not really similar to yours; 6/29 nodes positive with LVI confirmed; with the surgeon relatively certain he 'got it all'. More relevant though, there was a tiny (3mm) unknown spot on my lung observed at pre-op s...
